Delay Is Not Denial

READ the lessons of Divine control in Nature's laws.

  Nature is but the expression of Eternal Thought in Time.  Study the outward from-grasp the Eternal Thought, and if you can read the thoughts of the Father, then indeed you know Him.

  Leave Me out of nothing. Love all My ways with you.  Know indeed that "All is Well."  Delay is but the wonderful and all-loving restraint of your Father-not reluctance, not desire to deny-but the Divine control of a Father who can scarcely brook the delay.

  Delay has to be-sometimes.  Your lives are so linked up with those of others, so bound by circumstances that to let your desire have instant fulfillment might in many cases cause another, as earnest prayer, to go unanswered.

  But think for a monet of the Love and thoughtful care that seeks to harmonize and reconcile all your desires and longings and prayers.

  Delay is not denial-not even withholding.  It is the opportunity for God to work out your problems and accomplish your desires in the most wonderful way possible for you.

  Oh? children, trust me.  Remember that your Maker is also your Servant, quick to fulfill, quick to achieve, faithful in accomplishment.  Yes.  All is well.
